Australia's use of technology such as cloud will go to the heart of our competitiveness.

For instance, new in-house procurement skills will be required to ensure that large enterprises still achieve their required performance standards, business outcomes, seamless service delivery and appropriate risk allocation in the multi-cloud environment.

People will also need to know how to manage multiple cloud solutions, particularly given the emergence of new service management methodologies to meet the demands of the multi-cloud environment.

These challenges will also require far greater collaboration between the cloud providers themselves, through commercial alliances and partnering.

They will need to work together to allocate responsibilities between themselves and deliver seamless end-to-end services with performance standards that meet the demands of large enterprise environments.
